The pictures on the website must be pretty old because all I saw was a hodge podge of crap around the property. Reminded me of the kind of whitetrash houses you see in the country with a bunch of junk laying around. I've thrown away better mattresses and doritos found in my sheets which wasn't ours since we never ate... more

John & Claire are great folks & Claire is an awesome cook. She makes some of the best breakfast around. Their place is situated along the little Missouri river, it's picturesque & very relaxing. The area is well kept, clean & neat and the cabins although they look rustic on the outside are quite comfortable & have many accommodations of... more

Diamond John's is in a county setting and only minutes from the Diamond National Park. Our cabin was cute and clean nestled among the pine trees just steps from the lazy river. The A/C was wonderful , the mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot and satelite tv were nice ammenities. The atmospere was relaxing and the owners very friendly. The property... more

Diamond John's was everything that the website advertised, and so much more. My family and I took a much needed vacation. We were looking for something memorable and different, and we definitely found it!! We stayed in one of the four teepees that were right on the clean and beautiful Little Missouri River. Diamond John's provided kayaks, paddle boats, a... more

I gave hubby a choice of things to do on our Anniversary and he JUMPED at the "Head down to Diamond John's for the Weekend". I only spent 1/2 day at the diamond mines. I spent the rest of the time enjoying the beautiful view and when it got hot I headed into our little cabin to watch cable. The... more

Awesome alternative somewhere between camping and a motel. Located right on the Little Missouri River.... there was 2 kayaks, a row boat and a paddle boat that we could share with other campers at our leisure....NO CHARGE! Which was nice because in this day and time where there is a fee for absolutely everything it is rare! We stayed at... more

If you are looking for something different, Diamond John's Riverside Retreat is it. We are from suburbia, so camping at this cool place was a blast for my kids. They loved every single thing: fishing, the tree house, teepees, kayaking, paddle boats, looking at all the animals, the night-time jewel hunt, the merry-go-round, and more. I think they felt like... more

We went to Murfreesboro to go to the State park, see the Indian village and dig the crystal mines. But we did not want to stay at a boring old hotel, so we found Diamond Johns. When I spoke to the owners on the phone, they told me this was a step above camping, and that the intent of the... more

My sister and I took our 3 children to Diamond John's Riverside Retreat in July 2009. I live in California and my sister lives in Oklahoma. We try to take our kids on trips where they have room to roam, and that is outside of the box for most people. Our kids couldn't get enough of the goat, geese, peacocks,... more

We stayed at Diamond John's Riverside Retreat and this was our kids favorite part of our vacation. The Tee Pee was roomy and having TV and a frig was awesome! The bathrooms were great and we never had to wait in line or anything. We were there at the end of July and it was very rainy, it was wonderful... more
